Another Chicken Raid.
Michael Augermeyer was disturbed in his midnight slumber
Saturday night, by the cries of
his hens in the hen house. He
took his smoothbore, double
barrel shotgun and tired three
shots at the fleeing thief who
was heard to go in the direction
of the graveyard. A few minutes later a hen was heard to
complain about the intruder but
the sound was quickly choked
off. Michael took good aim in
the direction of the sound and
fired once more. He missed because all of our recognized professional chicken thieves were
around town Sunday morning
apparantly unharmed. All the
neighbors were awakened by
the shots.. Joseph Meyer
claims to have seen the thief
find 4iis way out of the maze of
monuments and crosses in the
graveyard by means of a flashlight.
P. L. Poster heard a team
drive rapidly by about the time
the first shots were fired. It is
more than probable that the
thief had a confederate in wait
with a buggy or light wagon to
haul the booty home.
FOUND SOME
GOOD WINE.
Townboard Joe. Otremba,
while in the village Monday related an incident he witnessed
last week while picking raspberries in section 29, Hillman,
which may be doubted by some,
but which he claims to be true.
He saw about half a dozen rabbits rolling, gambolling and
performing all sorts of antics
near a large cluster of raspberry bushes in a small stony
hollow. Protected on the north
and west by bushy Norway
pine trees, the place was almost
as hot as an oven. A depression in the ground under and
around the bushes formed a sort
of a basin in which about a
barrell of water had gathered,
and into which ripe rasberries
had fallen, fermented, and produced an intoxicating drink for
the rabbits. A strong odor of
wine gave Joseph the hint. He
got down on his hands and
knees jtnd drank several quarts
of high grade goods and felt
just as -well as if he had attended a towsj^oard meeting.
Joseph calls the spearers attention to. the Jocation of this
wine mine--Hillman, section 29.

Mrs. Luoy Abies, pioneer resident of Steirns county, died at

AUTOBIOGRAPHY
OF JOHN HEACH.
Below the reader will find the first
contribution of the autobiography of
John Heach, a well known character
about Pierz for the last twenty-five
years. John explains that he chose a
Johnsonese or slightly bombastic literary style because lie deemed the importance and weight of the subject in
hand worthy of sentences of such
learned length and thundering sound
that their echo may the longer linger
in 3-our memory.
John evidently believes, as did Alexander Pope, that "The sound should
be an echo to the sense."
LIGHTNING STRUCK
KUGEL'S HOUSE.
I have often been solicited by
eastern magazine and metropolitan newspaper representatives to pen for them a brief
sketch of my very eventful life,
but diffidence and perhaps lack
of egotism on my part as often
forbade. But in this, the 86th
year of my age, fully aware that
there can be few important additions or great modifications
during the brief space of life
remaining to me, I decided to
give my biography to the Pierz
Journal, among the readers of
which I have spent over a quarter of a century. By doing this
I hope to put at rest the curiosity of the good people of eastern Morrison county, in the
eyes of whom I have ever been
a sort of a wandering refugee;
and I must confess that to a
certain degree, I glory in the
distinction. That I am mysterious is because my mission
Lightning struck the John
Kugel residence shortly after
midnight, and did considerable
damage to both chimneys and
to the partitions on the first
floor. It seems the bolt covered
a large area, because opposite sides of the house were
damaged aud even several of the
shade trees in front of the house
were split. A small blaze was
started on the roof, but was
promptly extinguished by J. B.
Hartmann, Herman Faust, John
Boehm and others with a fire
extinguisher. Fred Rieke was
sitting within a few feet of
the wall damaged most, but felt
not the slightest shock of electricity. Damage is estimated
at S200.

The Lastrup Liar.
The Lastrup liar was in the
village Tuesday and gave us his
experience with bees. He had
four hives last year and got
only eighteen pounds of honey.
His breed of bees Was of a pedigreed, heavy producing strain,
so he failed for a long time to
account for the small profit.
Finally he discovered that tin}
